- I want to install the bi server CE 7, and start using some hypercubes I have created: initially as csv files I will upload (let's keep it simple), later by some data connection.
- I have been trying that for several days and although it seems "almost" working, it is not working
- apparently the install is a no-brainer for most people, so I have propbably made some mistakes (hint: I'm 99% ignorant at Java and Tomcat)
Current situation:
- debian 8.6 in a LXC container
- Java:
java version "1.8.0_111"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_111-b14)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.111-b14, mixed mode)
- created the linux user "pentaho", placed it in sudo group as well
- installed from pentaho-server-ce-7.0.0.0-25.zip by unzipping and moving the generated output: it is now in /home/pentaho/pentaho-server
- changed owner:group to "pentaho" in the whole directory tree under /home/pentaho
- configuration I get from the kettle sample:

But when I try to ru any pivot, eg on steelwheels, this fails...
